She’s crazy!!! She’s unhinged!!! That is what they … the GOP Establishment, the Regime-Media, the Democrats, etc. … want you to believe about Marjorie Taylor Greene. Read her letter below. Actually, the people who are crazy are the people who believe the “MTG is crazy,” “MTG is unhinged” propaganda, and that it is she and … Read more

Your House is My ATM

May 9, 2022

by Ian Underwood

An interesting thing happened in Croydon on Saturday. At a special school district meeting, 377 people decided that the voters who attended the annual meeting in March hadn’t offered enough charity ($800,000) to parents of school-aged children, so they gathered to extort more (an extra $900,000) through the threat of force (give us the money, or we’ll take your house).

Or, a bit longer with more words. But the conclusion is the same: Among the assumptions at the foundation of this article is that we human beings extend our ability to achieve our goals by cooperating with each other. And the greater is the number of individuals with whom we cooperate, the greater is the … Read more

Democrat Stronghold Still Allowing BLM Mobs To Extort Local Businesses

October 1, 2020

by Steve MacDonald

In early August, we reported on an extortion racket in Louisville, Kentucky. Local businesses are expected to give 1.5% of sales to approved non-profits and meet various other demands. If you refuse? you get a visit from some toughs, possibly a mob. It’s illegal, but local Democrats have done nothing to stop it.

“BLM has become the new KKK and even people of color are not safe.” – a followup

The title comes from Steve’s post “BLM Demands Businesses Post Loyalty Letters and Make Protection Payments“. This wasn’t (and hasn’t been) about racial harmony. You WILL accede to our demands has nothing to do with righting wrongs.

This ad is actually a fempto-documentary – the things that are in it can easily be found online from that the unions themselves have either said or written to School Boards around the nation.

BLM Demands Businesses Post Loyalty Letters and Make Protection Payments

One of my earlier products, while fiddling with new words for the acronym, BLM, was Black Liberal Mafia. There have been several iterations since (Black Lying Marxists, for example). But the first may prove prescient. In Kentucky, BLM is demanding protection money from local businesses.

CA Gov. Newsom pulls a Washington Monument Syndrome moment

May 19, 2020

by Skip

The “Washington Monument strategy” is named after a tactic used by the National Park Service to threaten closure of the popular Washington Monument when lawmakers proposed serious cuts in spending on parks. Roll Call calls it “an old legislative ploy where an agency threatens to close popular services first.” (H/T: Political Dictionary). And Gov. Gavin Newsom … Read more

Illinois Senate Passes Bill Banning Trump from 2020 Ballot

April 14, 2019

by Steve MacDonald

It’s not law yet, but I’d be interested in seeing that happen. Illinois has legislation that demands 5-year’s worth of tax returns or Trump won’t be on the November 2020 ballot.

Trump-Hating Porn-Star Lawyer Michael Avenatti Accused of Extortion, Embezzlement

This wouldn’t typically rise to the level of a story we’d cover. But Michael Avenatti (a Democrat) has been a product of much content creation on these pages. Some of it related to politics and the President.

My, don’t they feel….entitled? Illegal immigrant caravan “migrants” demand money to go away.

December 12, 2018

by Skip

Last time I knew, that was call “extortion” (“nice country you have there, shame if we were to enter it”). Yup, that’s what they’re doing – people that shouldn’t be here, didn’t bother to follow our laws, making demands on no basis at all. How about another choice: go home? Oh, and note how they’ve learned the lingo from the American Left who holds that America is horrible (reformatted, emphasis mine):

Migrant group demand Trump either let them in or pay them each $50G to turn around: report

Two groups of Central American migrants marched to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana on Tuesday with a list of demands, with one group delivering an ultimatum to the Trump administration: either let them in the U.S. or pay them $50,000 each to go home, a report said. Among other demands were that deportations be halted and that asylum seekers be processed faster and in greater numbers, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The first group of caravan members, that included about 100 migrants, arrived at the consulate around 11 a.m. Alfonso Guerreo Ulloa, an organizer from Honduras, said the $50,000 figure was chosen as a group.

“It may seem like a lot of money to you,” Ulloa told the paper. “But it is a small sum compared to everything the United States has stolen from Honduras.”

Right. Let’s see, 10,000 illegals X $50,000 works out to be $500 million – that’s not just “walking around” (pun intended) money. Yet, they feel entitled for that

SJWs – Holding student grades over a statue; er, about that Power Imbalance they keep yammering about?

December 11, 2018

by Skip

It is the end of the semester; my students did their final semester project Presentation and last night I finished up with the giving them their final grades. One more “activity” done – six still left on the plate but this really will free up a lot of time (about a day to 2 days a week). Another month and one more will be done as well (but much less time has been spent on that this year). So, in surfing around, it looks like others are also tallying up their students’ grades – and one set of SJWs are looking to use their students’ grades as a political cudgel (translation: no boundaries in conducting political warfare and it doesn’t matter who they hurt; reformatted, emphasis mine):

Teaching assistants at the University of North Carolina have threatened to hold up to 2,200 grades if school officials do not reconsider their plan for the controversial “Silent Sam” statue. This past Monday, UNC officials announced the memorial to Confederate soldiers would be housed in a new campus facility. That evening, protesters took to the streets to voice their displeasure. On Friday, activists announced online that 79 teaching assistants had signed a petition in opposition to the Silent Sam plan, and indicated they would “withhold [the] grades” if Chancellor Carol Folt and the UNC Board of Trustees did not relent.

I believe that the operative word is extortion – and they should be legally treated as extortionists! All over the “Silent Sam” (an unknown Confederate soldier) statue that was toppled by student / SJW vandals because SLAVERY! Anything they deem to be “wrong” must be destroyed, erased, and thrown down the Memory Hole – not just put somewhere else.

Union Thuggery -Coming Soon To A State House near You.

September 26, 2018March 10, 2011

WI Thugs I was just thinking back to all the loose talk from the left about ending the gun ban in the New Hampshire State House. How they imagined someone just unloading over testimony supporting same sex marriage–to use one example–kids getting cut down in the cross-fire. And how they fell over themselves trying to scare parents into keeping their children from ever visiting the place because it was now just too dangerous.

Then I look at the way the union run leftists in Wisconsin are acting. How they are storming the state house, climbing in through windows, and forcing people to flee for fear of their well being. These pro-union forces are pushing against state troopers trying to get past them. Maybe being let in by union cops. Just because they demand the ability to collectively bargain for benefits (not wages–they still have that privilege as far as I know.)

What is perhaps more instructive is that the left in New Hampshire supports them. I’d bet money you will not hear a peep in opposition to any of this from the state leadership of the democrat party. Nothing about State Senators running away like spoiled children. Nothing about the hate speech, the Hitler signs, the threats or the aggressive mob tactics and intimidation. They support that–and by their own rules support it through their silence.

So what of it?
